IMSE Frequently Asked Questions
A: Japanese law requires all medical students (including Japanese medical students) to observe, rather than treat. As such, your experience in the clinical departments will be primarily observation. During your regular meetings with your primary preceptor, you will have lots of opportunity for ‘hands-on’ EBM discussion, cultural observation and reflection.
A: As an IMSE student, you will be issued a pass allowing you 24-hour access to the on-campus library, which has personal computers connected to the Internet.
A: Knowledge of the Japanese language is not required. You must be fluent in English. Most of the hospital staff can speak English. However, most of patients speak only Japanese. So the conversation between medical staff and patients is conducted in Japanese. If you can understand Japanese, you may experience a better observation.
A: You will be provided with additional orientation materials and curriculum documents after acceptance into the program. These will include a list of “Do’s and Don’ts”, maps, and more. If you have any further questions, please contact us at our Educational Center (listner@luke.or.jp).
A: You will need to provide your own medical insurance coverage. More information can be found at http://www.ifmsa.org/services/student-insurance/
